WOOD RIVER TIMES.

A San Francisco letter, received
in this city yesterday, states that
the Oregon & California railway
will soon be extended to the Wood
River region and to a connection
with the Chicago e Northwestern
railway. The Oregon & California
only lacks 40 miles of completion
to Portland. 1t is already on this
side of the Cascade range, having
crossed it through the klamath, the
lowest pass in the mountains, and
its line along the margin of Goose
Lake and on to Idaho is already
surveyed. From the summit of the
pass the Oregon & California can
go anywhere in the inter-mountain
region at minimum cost. there be-
ing no ranges to cross nor lava
stretches to blast, and the country
being comparatively level. AS soon
as the all-rail connection between
Portland and San Francisco is COM
pleted, work will probably begin
Idahowards from the Klamath
country. 1t is the intention of the
company to keep to keep to the west
and south of the Snake river until
the vicinity of Caldwell is reached
and then cross the river on the way
to Boise and Wood River via Camas
Prairie. 1t will be the shortest
route, by 200 miles, between HALEY
and San Francisco. The Oregon &
California is, Of course, only another
name for the Central Pacific or
Southern Pacific company; and the
extension above outlined has been
in contemplation ever since the first
settlement of Wood River. By it's
means the California & Oregon
owners could put themselves in con-
nection with every important re-
gion in the great northwest, besides
securing an Eastern connection in
dependentiy of the Oregon Short
Line and Union Pacific railways.
From Wood River the road could
also be extended to Yellowstone
Park and the various mining dis
tricts to the north; while it could
also be easily entended southwark
to Ogden and Salt Lake City, where,
if reports are to be relied upon, the

The cowboys have finished rodeo-

day they drove the stray band of
about 800 head of cattle through
town towards Meadow creek.
We are sorry to learn that Rich
ard Thomas, residing on Sinker
creek, was thrown by a horse on
Monday last and injured about the
head, from which wounds erysipelas

Thomas sent in for DR.. Mitchell to

The Wilson mine at Wagontown
is proving to be one of the best bo-
nanzas of Idaho, and the Pacific
coast. The more development work
is done, the larger and better the
mine proves. Capt. De Lamar is
determined to open up the mine be-
fore he builds mill. In other
words he wants to know that he has
enough ore to commence on. From
developments already made, there
is now at least 10000 tons of mill
ing ore in sight. The lode has been
opened for 200 feet by drift, and a
cross-cut run to cut the west wall,
but as yet it has not been found, al
though 40 feet has been run through
good ore. A shaft is now being
sunk on the T. lode from the lower
tunnel level, which shows better
ore than when started. Judging
from appearances, the Wilson will
prove one Of the largest and best
paying properties on the Pacific
coast.

THE HAIR PIN.


A hair. pin is woman's best
friend 1t fits a multiplicity of
uses, and she is never without one-
If her hair is short, you can depend
upon it that ina recess of her purse
or pocket of her reticule you will
find the hair pin. If she buttons
her shoes she uses her hair pin, and
who ever saw a woman button her
gloves with anything else? If her
head itches does she scratch it with
her fingers? Nonsense! She whips
out hair pin and relieves herself.
Suppose q nickel has dropped be-
tween the bars of the wooden foot
CRATE in the street car. Does she
soil her fingers, as a man would,
and then not get it? Certainly not.
Out comes the hair pin and the coin
is lifted out without trouble. If her
shawl pin is lost, where is as good
substitute as the hair pin. If |
she eats a nut, does she take nut
pick? Most certainly not. The
hair pin again. tits with the hair |
pin that she rips open uncut leaves
of a book or magazine; it is hair
pin with which she marks her pro-
gress in her fayorite book; if a
trunk key is missing, a hair pin
opens the refractory lock as neatly
as burglars skeleton key would;
with it she cleanses her finger nails,
and, if it is clean one, even picks
her teeth. And the feats of hair
securing that she will make sim
pie bow-legged hair pin accomplish
nearly surpasses the belief of man.
Altogether, it deserves to be classed
among the great inventions of the
world; and the grave of the orig
inal man who created the first one
could have no prouder epitaph thar
this: "This is the kind of hail

pin he was"

BELLEVUE HERALD.

In Idaho law there seems to be no
justice No justice to- those who
should have justice. Where the
fault lies can only be laid at the
door of the courts. In the cases of
-blooded murderers, Armstrong.
of Alturas county, and Woods and
Williams, of Bingham, new trials
or stay in execution of the law have
been granted. All three cases are
self admitted by the prisoners.
Armstrong foully murdered Paul
Hubert for revenge and money.
Woods, the Pocatello barber, killed
his wife by beating and shooting
her because of jealousy, and Will
liams killed two miners for mean
ness. On fair trials the three bru-
tai murderers were condemned to
be hanged. In every case new
trials were granted. In Armstrong;
case a second trial sent him to the
penitentiary, instead of being hang
ed. In the cases of Woods and
Williams, who should have been
hanged last Friday, the papers of
Idaho will be reused to such pitch
81
that it is to be hoped some sort of
justice will be dealt men who think
no more of taking an innocent per-
sons life than mouse's. 1t lies in
the power of the newspapers to de-
mand a stoppage of these proceed
ings, in giving the heads of justice
to understand that the people--the
law abiding communication now
on must have more protection from
highbinders, murderers and blood
suckersl To have the law taken
from the officers would be bad news
to leave Idaho, but something must
be done.

relative to the great republic, when
speaking of its liberal institutions as

progress we are indebted. under God
and the fostering care of the holy see
to the civil liberty we enjoy in our
enlightened republic. The church

she blossoms like the rose. For my.

gratitude that l belong to a country
where the civil government holds over
us the Igis of its protection without
interfering with as in the legitimate

Our nation is strong and her strength

Early Days on the Chippewa
BY A PIONEER.

We got over this time family we'll by
| good luck, or good accident, save this
little misstep of Noman's, that SO
nearly cost him his life, and then
tried raft of square timber. This
was lighter and easier to guide and
manage; but bad luck seemed to at
tend us, and we struck and stove and
tumbled about amongst the rocks, and
got over, barely with our lives, for at
one time all expected to be drowned in
five minutes.
The main, or perpendicular fall was
at the foot of the rapids; "a ledge ex-
tending straight across the river, like
a dam, ten or twelve feet high, per-
haps, and this dam or fail, completely
Obstructed by works upon it, and
above and below it, save one place, or
chute, where the largest body of water
seemed to pass. This chute we must
make with our raft or be dashed to
pieces, as by an 1886 Kansas cyclone.
The water has attained great velocity
when it passes into this gap, or chute.
and when it strikes the somewhat
calm and heavy body of water below,
it rebounds and rolls back in furious,
foaming waves, which usually sween
entirely over the raft; the men for
safety, in the meantime, holding to a
previously selected grub to keep from
being swept off. If the bottom is clear
of rocks there is no particular danger,
if the men hold fast to the raft. which
soon comes 10 the surface. Some of
us knew what to do in such cases, by
experience in similar vicissitudes.
The greatst danger is in missing this
only possible outlet.
| don't remember how long these
rapids are above the lower perpendicu-
lar fall, perhaps three-quarters of
mile. Commencing gradually it gets
swifter and swifter rs the increasing
inclination accelerates the velocity,
studded and INSTRUCTED everywhere
with rocks, big ones and little ones,
out of water and under it. an inter
minable nest almost as dangerous as
torpedoes, for there are a hundred
side currents to draw you off. Moth
ing but cool vigilance and plenty of
muscle will avail here on this mad
run; there is no time for reflection.
He that uses most promptly his pow
ers and faculties does more honor to
the Giver than the quiveriDg knee or
supp!iant lip.
Do you know, my friend, how dear
life is, when you have it i'll your hand
and ninety-nine chances against you!
How it mans man, how it stiffens
up the timorous fellow. and brightens
up into useful vigor every thought for
preservation, and puts giants muscle
into the puniest man. So we settled
it as our situation, after being thrown
out of the main channel on the second
trip over the falls, and pulled for the
one chance in hundred and won.
